Various diary updates of fishing, wildlife, surfing and kayaking trips mainly in the West and South West of England. As I live near Bristol (UK) many of the blogs will be focussed around this area.

Wellow beauty...

Red sorted me a guest ticket on Avon Tributaries section of the Wellow. Beautiful stretch nearer its confluence with the Cam downstream to the Knowle beat I am used to fishing. The fishing was not as easy as I was expecting and the wild fish were just not showing. After a change of fly to a green fluro shrimp pattern, on Red's recommendation, I picked up a nice stocked Rainbow in one of the deeper sections. Funny how that fly will probably be returned to the box and will not be used for another 12 months until I am left scratching my head. Fantastic sunny day in a secluded valley on the outskirts of Bath.

About Me

I appreciate all types of fishing including both fresh and saltwater, game and coarse. I love kayaking and regularly fish from a kayak with friends and family.
I am interested in all wildlife and this coincides nicely with my main activities of surfing, fishing and kayaking where many of my most privileged experiences have taken place.
I live near Bristol, and fish a variety of local patches always trying to mix it up, fishing less popular locations just to seek out surprises. Some of my favoured locations are: the Bristol Frome, Wellow Brook and the River Chew. Further a field I fish Cornwall’s trout streams, Wiltshire’s Nadder and Hampshire Avon, together with the South and Cornish Coast.
I surf and its usually at Woolacombe, Kimmeridge, Penhale or Fistral. If I am lucky enough to be on Tenerife during the Winter months I will surf or fish on the South West coast. somewhere.
